Rageblade and Jax

Just picked up jax recently and was reading a lot of guides and playing a few rounds with him. Why is this item not used more often on Jax? Looks like it has good synergy with his passive and provides stacking AP for use with Empower and Grandmaster's Might.

It is cheaper, and if you keep the groove going (as all good jaxes do) will maintain a higher AP then Gunblade and with the new effect, when you fall below 50% gives you comparable lifesteal/spellvamp.

If I don't get any definitive reasons I'll play with it some tomorrow and report my results to the community... for science!

B) they are stacking a lot of armor against you
